Session 7 - The Flayer and the Slayer
General Summary
- Faephine dreamed of Stone Statues in a void. She heard a voice, which sounded like many people speaking at once, and then awoke. Faephine found herself sitting in the wagon, on the streets of Fire Crystal Lagoon.
- Wildervan Nell broke away from the party and entered a tower owned by Eillana. Inside he met Damicus. After finding a spell book, which was offered to Wildervan as a gift, Eillana told the two that she could not help them, and bid them farewell.
- Fhaqwin told the party to speak with Zoumos Vominti who was somewhere in the upper levels of the tower. She then excused herself and left through the ground level door.
- The door to the upper level was at the top of a flight of stairs, which started about 30ft above the ground. The party reached this door through the use of Faephine's rope arrow.
- The party made their way through the Guest Room and Library before reaching a large room with a piano. They spoke with Brenelor Vominti here.
- Impatient, Faephine continued upstairs to the Reading Room, where she found a book and a strange red stone.
- The party ascended to a 'room' which was, apparently, a large field at night with the staircase standing in the open. Some kind of magic surrounded the spiral stairs and it was later discovered that they were not visible if you moved far enough away from them.
- In the field, the party attracted the attention of some kind of beast. It was very large, had hooves and long brown fur with a face that resembled a carnivorous bull, without horns. The party killed the creature and Wanklicus attempted to skin it.
- Ascending still, the party entered some kind of supply room. There were pelts from the same kind of creature, alchemy supplies and a broken statue on a table. It resembled those that the party encountered in Kexl.
- Next, the party came to a lab. Here they met Zoumos Vominti, who appeared to be operating, or perhaps dissecting, a humanoid creature. An argument broke out and then shit kicked off:
- Wildervan Nell cast Hideous Laughter on Zoumos and attempted to free the creature from the straps holding it to the table.
- Faephine left the tower at about this point - the door in the lab now led to the Entrance Room where the party had arrived.
- Delrora removed a glowing pink crystal from the fireplace.
- The creature then vanished.
- Zoumos was angry, and demanded compensation for his loss.
- Wanklicus initially agreed to look in to a large open container, filled with a thick liquid and many small creatures - but instead tried to throw Zoumos in to it.
- Zoumos struck Wanklicus with a spell, which turned him to ash.
- Under the threat of more violence, the party left the tower, returning to the streets of Fire Crystal Lagoon in early evening.
